MISUMI Group backs MISUMI Americas, a specifications-driven global manufacturer and supply chain company. MISUMI Americas combines the digital powerhouse of Fictiv with the 60+ year legacy of MISUMI in terms of industrial precision to build the future of manufacturing, bringing together standard, programmable, and customised manufactured parts into one robust solution for engineers and manufacturers.

MISUMI Group, the Japanese industrial leader, has gone ahead and appointed its first American CEO, as it plans to expand its global footprint in the U.S. via MISUMI Americas. The company recently announced a $1B or 150B JPY global investment vision so as to drive organic and inorganic growth, including investments in the U.S.

The fact is that MISUMI Group backs MISUMI Americas which is strategically positioned to improve U.S. manufacturing by integrating the operational precision of Japan with the digital innovation of the U.S. The CEO of MISUMI Americas, Dave Evans, is leading the charge in transforming the company from a reputable supplier of components to a full-service partner in digital manufacturing along with the supply chain. Says Dave Evans, CEO of MISUMI Americas, “Whether we’re helping venture-backed innovators like Oishii scale robotics for the future of agriculture or supporting the next generation of LEO satellites in public aerospace companies, our mission is to give every engineer access to Fortune 500-calibre supply chain capabilities. By combining MISUMI’s decades of precision and reliability with Fictiv’s AI-powered digital manufacturing platform, we’re transforming static supply chains into living, self-optimising production systems, empowering innovators to move from design to production faster and with greater confidence.”

Your Total Mechanical Bill of Materials – MISUMI Americas

For the very first time, engineering, procurement, as well as supply chain leaders have access to a Fortune 500-calibre supply chain team of seasoned professionals in order to launch their full mechanical bill of materials – BOM including standard, configurable and custom mechanical parts.

MISUMI Americas is the empowering force behind today’s engineers and supply chain teams, building and scaling leading-edge technology including factory automation, aerospace, robotics, eVTOL, satellites, medical devices, factory automation, etc.

According to VP Membrane Commercial Development, EnergyX, Jamie Vinsant, “As a company in the early stages of manufacturing, it was critical to find a partner who could scale up with us as we worked through design iterations and sold equipment to initial customers. Combining MISUMI’s trusted legacy of quality and precision with Fictiv’s digital manufacturing ecosystem into MISUMI Americas creates a single source for all standard, configurable, and custom components, shortening our path to market.”

Unified Purchasing Platform

Apparently, the customers will be able to procure both make and buy components and customised mechanical parts via a single integrated digital workflow, removing the difficulty of dealing with various vendors.

Faster Time to Market

With the power of AI-powered quoting from Fictiv and the global logistics network of MISUMI, MISUMI Americas allows engineers to get prototypes much faster and to full-scale manufacture much faster. Estimates in minutes, not days/weeks, top-notch parts shipped as fast as one day, transitioning from 24-hour prototypes to full-scale production effortlessly without changing vendors.

Lower likelihood of risk in the supply chain

The customers win with the strength of a global manufacturing network – facilities situated in the U.S., Mexico, China, Japan, as well as India, all operating with the exact same Fortune 500-quality management system.

Design to Delivery Integrated

The platform goes on to offer automated design for manufacturing feedback so as to help engineers recognise and tackle production problems during the design phase, decreasing the time and cost to introduce products.

High Accuracy Quality

The manufacturing of MISUMI Americas is ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100 as well as ISO 13485 certified, so one can be assured that the parts will be manufactured with tight industrial tolerances ranging down to .0001 inch when it comes to CNC machining.

Fast scalability

The adaptable supply chain enables companies to grow from a single prototype to hundreds of thousands of production units free of the capital investment of conventional manufacturing.

MISUMI America’s Standard to Configurable to Custom Continuum

MISUMI Americas draws on the 60-year history of MISUMI, with 30 million unique parts, 20.7 million configurable components along with 200K shipments every single day, and Fictiv’s AI-powered custom manufacturing solution to offer a smooth, end-to-end solution in terms of building a complete mechanical BOM which goes on to guarantee that all components are made to exact specifications, which includes completely custom, configured and made-to-order and, of course, off-the-shelf.
